The Twin Cities Major All-Stars beat the S.F. National squad Sunday at Joe Wagner field by the score of 6 -4. Patrick Farney broke a scoreless tie in the 3rd with an RBI single to left and was brought home 2 batters later on the 3-run home run of Brendan Flynn. The Nationals responded with a run in the bottom half of the inning leaving the score 4 – 1 through 3 innings.

Twin Cities was unable to score in the 4th or 5th and had left 7 runners on base through 5. In the bottom half, Twin Cities starting pitcher Richie Epidendio allowed a lead-off single to Ryan Nelson (3 for 3, 1 outfield assist) and then was victimized by back to back errors behind him, scoring Nelson. He struck out the next batter and reached his pitch limit with a base on balls to the next batter. Patrick Farney came on in relief with the bases loaded and got a strikeout before allowing a 2-run single to left. The next batter grounded out to second and through 5, the score was tied 4 -4.

In the top of the 6th Henry Friedricks led off by drawing a walk. Pinch-runner Dewitt Burnham took his place and was moved to second on a bunt by Tyler Peck. Peck hustled down the line and was safe on a throwing error. Nick Tarantino then delivered an RBI single to left on an 0 – 1 pitch. Epidendio was hit by pitch to load the bases with no outs. 2 batters later, Connor Hicks delivered another key blow with a hard single to left scoring an insurance run for Twin Cities.

Hicks came on to pitch the bottom of the 6th and after allowing a lead-off single got Nelson to ground into a double play with a grounder right over the bag at 2nd. Flynn gobbled it up, stepped on the bag and fired to first. Another grounder to Farney at first base ended things with Twin Cities battling through for a tough 6 – 4 victory.

Williams of Marinwood edged out his old pool record time of 28.33 seconds with a new pool record time of 28.32 seconds in the boys 11-12, 50 yard butterfly. Aislinn followed that by again lowering the mark on one of her own times. She took the girls 13-14, 100 yard individual medley with a time of 1:04.76. The meet concluded with another great effort and pool record by the LVST mixed 9-10 freestyle relay team of Halle Morris, Sophia Wiley, Lomax Turner and Caleb Better with a new time of 2:04.74 seconds besting the previous pool record by more than a full second.
